[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47854824]All you have to do is go to wikipedia, pick a country then read the brief paragraphs regarding it in the 60s.
Literally only did that this whole RP (minus the fact that I took university course on the region couple years ago :v:)[/QUOTE]
I'll go for it. Saves me the effort of establishing a beachhead.
I too took a couple courses. I'm not an expert, but I consider myself knowledgeable about the region. Go ahead and hit me up if you need to

Awesome.
Just don't go socialist.
Because Mesopotamia [I]will[/I] hunt you down.
Just look at the graves of socialism in Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt and Vietnam :v:

I've done some thinking and I've had discussions with Sobotnik and I'm not playing as Afghanistan anymore, I'm either moving to Morocco or Ethiopia but Ruskie isn't replying to my messages and I'm scared of him being the Algerians yet I'm also scared about the Eritreans and the Somalians
Morocco is a pretty laid back place, plus you can always lay your claims on the Western Sahara province to your south.

Persia will be taking command of a civil engineering project to build Afghanistan's first railway. It will be the start of the "Iron silk road", a project intended to build a grand transcontinental railway that will connect east and west.

It's a rather rough map to say the least.

IIRC, Somalian piracy wasn't that big during this time period, if existent at all.

Apparently we've made a major geographical error in regards to the map (from the beginning).
Bangladesh is still East Pakistan at the moment, up until 1971 when it fights for its independence (due to ethnic and linguistic differences with Pakistan proper).
So are we gonna say that, due to the Persian-Pakistani War they gained independence as a recon, or just rule it in as currently part of Pakistan?
